5 Days Until Warped Tour!!

So I forgot to post a Warped Tour story yesterday (Oops!) But I am going to write a story today so yay!

It was a hot day at Warped Tour and I was standing in line to meet one of my favorite bands. I was missing Tonight Alive's set but I thought meeting this band would be completely worth it. As we approached the front of the line I saw one of the bands guitarists and he had cut his hair! He used to have this nice long hair and now it was all gone! I hadn't even recognized him at first. We asked if they had any posters they could sign, but since they didn't I had them sign my schedule. As we passed each band member I smiled up at each of them, but none of them even  glanced at me. They were all in their own little world, not paying attention to any of their fans. When we got out of line I felt upset and rejected. I was missing one of my favorite band's sets for these assholes! So my mother and I fast walked to the other side of the venue and ended up catching the last few songs of their set.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was worse than the last one. Oh well. I hope you enjoyed anyway.

7 Days Until Warped Tour!

Since this is my first Warped Tour story, I'm going to make it a positive one. . .

Once upon a time in Scranton, Pennsylvania a young girl named Tony waited in line with her mother. They were waiting to meet one of Tony's favorite bands, Tonight Alive. It was a hot summer day and they had been walking around all day and now they had to stand in line for fifteen minutes. Both of them sat on the ground as the line moved slowly. All around them there was the sound of screaming fans and the distant sound of music. When the line had moved forward and they finally got to the band they were met by one of the bands guitarist, but Tony hadn't realized that until he started talking.

Has he shaved his mustache? Tony thought. Oh my God! He has!

She laughed to herself as they moved along. The band's drummer, other guitarist, and bass player all looked up at her as they signed her poster and she smiled back at them. It was a wonderful smile. One filled with excitement and joy. Finally her and her mother made it to the lead singer. Tony didn't hear a word her or her mother said. She couldn't believe she was really standing there in front of her!! After she signed her poster, Tony's mother took a picture of the two of them.

Tony walked away from the tent happier than she's ever been.

That was my wonderful story. I'm not very good at story telling, but I hope you enjoyed it!

Warped Tour Countdown: 8 Days!!!

I went to my first Warped Tour when I was 13 in 2012 and it has become a yearly thing for me, my mother, and my friend, Savannah. Warped Tour is always the best day of the year for me and I'm really excited to be going back for the third time! So since there's only a week and a day left until Warped Tour 2014, starting tomorrow I'm going to be sharing memories of Warped Tour from the previous times that I went! This should be interesting.

She's Still There

It's so common for friends to let me down and I usually know when them letting me down is becoming a problem and I'll tell them. But I have this friend who keeps breaking promises and lying to me but I can't let her go.

Why?

Because I have a "vibe meter" that's pretty accurate. I can tell when someone is a good or bad person and I can tell when there's still hope. My friend has been a shitty friend lately but I know her and I know that things she's doing aren't her. They're her boyfriend and the people she's been hanging out with. I also feel like I should blame every person who romanticizes drugs and partying because it seems like part of the problem is that she thinks things like that are cool.

I know the girl I met in the beginning of the year is still there and she knows it too. When we were walking down to the brook, just the two of us she said: "This is the [her name] you remember,  right?" And I was stunned to hear her say that because I was beginning to lose hope. But the old girl is still there.

I just hope I can help her find that girl before she's gone forever.

Midnight City

It's 12:06 AM and this song is all u can think about.

Adventure #2: Nameless

Another Adventure in nature.

Bus Stops

Yesterday I was walking on a walking trail when I found what looked like a bus stop. I found a few more of these and was extremely confused so I decided to take a picture. Maybe someone else could shed some light.

I Wanna Get Better

This has been on repeat for the past few days. I really need to get out of the house.

It's Getting Better. . . I Think. . . Not Really.

This summer so far has been a complete bust. I can't go to fuzz fest even though my friends promised to pay for my ticket. And I probably won't get to go see Paramore, Fall Out Boy and New Politics because the lady I babysit for had dropped me on my ass. And last but not least I probably won't be able to dye my hair pink because again the lady I babysit for has dropped me on my ass and I'm broke. This summer has been filled with more disappointment than  anyone should ever have to deal with. I spent my entire school year looking forward to this summer thinking I'd get to hang out with friends everyday and I wouldn't have to worry and I'd be happy. But all of my friends are assholes and have found new, more exciting friends.
So I have invested myself in my art. But all of this stress and anxiety and sadness and disapointment is making it hard to do anything but stay inside all day. *SIGH*
When does school start again?

5 a.m.

I've been up all night and I've just finally turned the lights out. I'm pretty sure it's still raining and it's amazing. These are the moments I live for. I just finished a book and my ceiling fan is providing me with the cool air that I need. The sound of my brothers stand up fan in thw room next to me is soothing. The sky is beginning to lighten and birds are chirping and it just feels so right l. It all feels so right. I am at peace. . . For now.

Summer Vacation

Summer vacation is usually a time for me to be happy and relaxed and free. But as the days drag on, I find myself wanting to go back to school more and more. I keep asking myself why, but I can't find any sort of reason. I'm free! So why am I not happy?

It's Summer and I Have No Friends.

Lately I've been having trouble with my friends. Some of my friends are into drugs and drinking so I try to only hang out with them when they're sober, but then they end up leaving me to go smoke or something. Then I have my friends from my old school who seem to have found new friends and don't talk to me very much. Then I have friends who refuse to ever leave the house, and friends who never want to hang out, and friends who are always busy. So I'm left to be alone and I hate it. I miss hanging out with people all the time and having fun with friends without drugs getting in the way and I miss walking through the cemetery and doing kind of dangerous things and I just miss my life before high school.

The Fault in Our Stars

I went to go see TFIOS last night and it was amazing! I read the book and the movie (almost) stayed true to it completely. I cried and laughed and it was just so great. We went for yogurt afterwards and it was just great.

Only One More Day!

Monday is my last day of school and I am so excited! This summer will be great! <3

100 Happy Days: Day 3

This is extremely cute

Day 1 of Finals: Complete!

Today has been a short and easy day. I went into school with my phone and a folder full of the notes I'll have to study for my finals. The first final I had was science and I definitely aced it! It took nearly the entire hour, but I finished it! My second final was business. That was a lot easier than science and I finished it with forty minutes left. I'm sad to be ending my freshman year, but I'm so excited for next year. I still have four finals to go, but I'm not too worried about them. I'm just excited for SUMMER! First day of finals is complete. ;)

100 Happy Days: Day # 1

Went to school, worked out, and now I'm playing guitar <3

A Wonderful Feeling

Today has been an interesting day. Today is the last real Monday of the school year and I've been studying for finals like crazy and some teachers still have us taking new notes! Tomorrow is the last real day of school. Finals start Wednesday and then next Monday is my last final. I am so excited for summer and school next year.
I've also started exercising and eating healthier. I did 105 squats, 20 sit ups, 8 leg lifts, 8 curls, 4 push ups, and I ran 45 minutes on the arc machine at the gym. It was great and I feel wonderful.

I Can't Sleep #1 [Another Update]

The sun has risen (almost). Good Morning.

I Can't Sleep #1 [Update]

The sky is awake, so I'm awake <3 Good Morning.

I Can't Sleep #1

It's nearly five o'clock in the morning. My plan was to wake up at 6:30 but I woke up around four and I can't get back to sleep. The sky is getting lighter and soon the sun will come up. Whatever song is playing on my radio is really pretty and this post is just a bunch of rambling. Good morning.

Also, the sky in the picture is a lot darker than it really is.

It's the First of June, Oh My.

How can it already by June first? I feel like just yesterday I was celebrating the new year. May was such a busy month with field trips and tests and projects and preparing for finals. It's been a stressful year and I'm glad I got through it. Only two more instructional school days left and then five days for finals. I have homework I should be doing. Why do teachers give homework this late in the school year? Shouldn't they be preparing me for my final? I'm just happy that it'll be over soon. This summer should be interesting. I'm going to Warped Tour, Dorney Park, Gettysburg, and a Paramore concert. What else could I ask for? I'll have more time to spend with my friends and read and write and listen to music and I'm just so excited.
It's the first of June and I am incredibly happy!

Adventure Number One: My Basement

Some people might not consider my basement and adventure, but you'd be surprised at what you could find in your own house. The main reason I ever go down there is to do my laundry, but I've always noticed how interesting some things looked down there. I love taking pictures, so I thought it would be interesting to take a few pictures and share them. I've edited them all using the "Yester-Color" filter on PicMonkey.

That's All a Teenage Girl Needs

It's a beautiful day in spring. The sun is shining, kids are playing outside, people are mowing their lawns and everything feels just right.
It's the last day of May and the upcoming week is the last week of school and three out of the five days are finals. It's been a long school year. I had started high school in a new town with no friends. This town is right next to the city I lived in for fifteen years but it was still nerve wracking to go to school in such unknown territory.
Now that the school year is almost over I can relax a little and let myself enjoy this wonderful day.
I haven't been able to leave the house today, but I have my book and my music. That's all a teenage girl needs, right?
